Best Answer

Julia Alvarez decided to write this book because she was a child growing up in this time in the Dominican Republic, and when she heard about the Mirabal sisters (this was a true story), she could not get them out of her mind. She kept asking herself, "What gave them that special courage?" (quote from the author's note), and that basically inspired her to write the story using mostly her imagination. Hope this helps, Tabby_123
